Improving Biogas Plant Efficiency – Why Ferrous Chloride Dosing Not Ferric Chloride is Best
Seeking to improve biogas plant efficiency and understanding why Ferrous Chloride, Not Ferric Chloride, is the best of the two as a dosing additive within a balanced biogas output-raising product. During a recent exhibition stand enquiry I was making, an expert from Lukeneder helped me understand this point. She explained the differences between Ferrous Chloride […]
Biogas Ukraine: Boosting Ukraine’s Energy Stability in Turbulent Times
In an age of worrying climate change and looming fossil energy decline, the advantages of biogas are obvious, especially to the Ukrainian government in their war effort. It’s no longer a matter of proving the many benefits. They are clear to all, and not least in maintaining local power supplies under constant attacks on their […]
Comparing Biogas Vs Natural Gas: Environmental Impact Explained
Analysis of the Environmental Impact of Biogas Versus Natural Gas Choosing between biogas and natural gas is vital for our planet. Both are used to generate electricity, cook, and heat homes but affect our world differently. Biogas is a renewable energy source made from organic waste, like food scraps and animal manure. 1 Natural gas […]

Biogas in USA: A Huge Renewable Energy Opportunity
The development of Anaerobic Digestion and Biogas in the USA is progressing more rapidly today than at any other time. Biogas is a valuable renewable energy source that has the potential to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote sustainability in the USA. The nation is beginning to realise that it is sitting on a […]
How to Make Biogas from Human Waste
Many communities struggle with waste management and energy shortages. These problems often go hand in hand, especially in developing countries—causing environmental pollution and limiting economic growth. Biogas from human waste offers a groundbreaking solution. This advanced technology converts human excreta into renewable energy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions while improving sanitation. 2 This blog will explain […]
Reviving an AD Plant: How a Mixing System Overhaul Restored Biogas Output
When faced with a critical failure at an AD plant, many would have turned away—but not Ross Mingotti. New to the industry, Ross and his team confronted significant challenges, including a failed mixing system, tank complications, and delayed replacement parts, all of which threatened the plant’s operations and revenue. Yet, instead of giving up, they […]
What is Thermal Hydrolysis? High Temperature and Pressure Cell Rupture Explained
So you want to know; “What is the thermal hydrolysis process?” – and to understand basic thermal hydrolysis technology. Definition Thermal Hydrolysis is a chemical process in which the organic molecules (in the substrate/ feed material) are split into two parts by adding a molecule of water. The process forces the water molecules between the chemical […]
How to Reduce Methane Emissions in Agriculture
The question of how to reduce methane emissions in agriculture is an important one. It is not fully appreciated that science shows that the ONLY way to meet global temperature rise targets is to drastically reduce agricultural methane emissions now. This can be done by using tried and tested agricultural and waste sector biogas technology. […]
First IoW Biogas Plant – Update and Now There Are Two!
The first Isle of Wight Biogas Plant was in the news back in 2014 when the Black Dog biogas plant was commissioned. Wight Farm Energy and Schmack Biogas combined their international expertise with local knowledge a year later to build and commission the second IoW biogas plant on the UK holiday and sailing Island. It […]
Anaerobic Digester Cost – Manure Management Projects On-Farm
How much does an Anaerobic Digester built for manure and nutrient management cost to construct, commission and run? That’s the vital question for AD utilisation for manure management projects on farms. If the sum of these costs is known and the price payable for the valuable outputs in energy and biofertiliser available to any farm […]
